Just finished up my skid install. I ended up breaking all the retaining clips and the ones I found for replacements aren't quite the same but they worked and hold the lines. I broke the large EVAP clip at the back of the fuel tank with the 2 lines that branch off and have no replacement clip (wasn't supposed to come off, but it did........oops). The only other thing I ran into was the Hemi has no bleeder valve on the fuel rail so I removed the fuse for the fuel pump and ran it dry to remove the pressure. I also used a high lift floor jack to support the tank when I dropped and reinstalled the tank. Sal, the write up helped a great deal, thanks.

The part number in the first post is from advanced auto they were a perfect match for the clips that came off my XK. Sorry to hear you broke that big clip I showed in the write up to leave that one connected did that come apart on accident or did you break it? Now that you're done is there anything I should add to this thread that can help future members out?
Other than having to bleed the fuel line pressure for the Hemi by pulling the fuel pump fuse and running the lines dry everything else is good.

I just installed my tank. While i was at it I modified the tank to allow maximum flex down the road when i get sway bar discos and longer shocks.
